Self Harm
Because we tend to bottle up our pain and not show others.
Hitting Out
Because we find it hard to control strong emotions.
I know they are sort of contradictory, but they make sense if youve been through them.

| It's strange but people don't seem to like being corrected. Like, they would rather just continue to be wrong. I don't know why that is. Its because people have to be right. Do they know about your Aspergers/Autism? Because I find that people REALLY dislike being corrected by someone who "isn't as ... |

| I'm always dreading school on sundays, so much, that I often forget to enjoy my sundays. I feel more comfortable at home and because I find social interaction so hard, I often wish that I no longer had to go to school. But I don't want to drop out, so I just live with it the best I can. I'm current... |

I sit in these lessons getting so stressed, feeling myself getting right to the edge. I'm really worried that Im going to go over the edge and have a breakdown in the... |

| I find that a lot of these thing apply to me, especially the thing about eye contact and looking at peoples mouths. And what you were saying about brushing your teeth, I find (after years of struggling with this) that using warm water helps so much. |

| Depending on how quickly you write, you could just write the whole text out. I have a friend (is it NT you call them? Non-Aspergers anyway) who writes really fast, and so if a teacher complains then she just writes out the whole thing. Personally, I cant listen and take notes at the same time, or re... |
